Jay PettibOne Tells About His Horse
Buffalo Girl.
An Exciting Race With a Railroad
Train.
George Taylor Tries His Hand on a
Museum Story.

TN tell you just how 1 discovered her
speed. boys" said jaw Pettibone the
other evening. when recounting the good
points and many victories Of his celebrat-
ed trotting mare, Buffalo Girl. She
was a 2-year.o old when l bought her from
a milkman for $45. He said the mare
could trot a little and | drove her in a
sulky a couple of months Just for the fun
of the thing, and found out that she
could trip along pretty lively, but never
knew what the animal was capable of I'M
til | had owned her for about two years.
One day | was sitting on the sulky near a
freight depot in Buffalo where some men
were loading household furniture in a box
car. They crowded in everything except
a large mirror about twelve feet long,
which was fastened on the outside. As
the train pulled out the mare caught
sight of her reflection in the glass. and |
could no more have held her
than lasso a telegram, and so l Just sat
back and held the reins and let the old
girl hop along. For the first five miles it
was a pretty even thing, and everybody
was terribly excited. The fireman SHOW
eled coal into the engine as the conductor
mounted a seat and sold pools to the pas.
sengers. Pretty soon the mare com
menced to gain, and ten miles from town
was twenty car lengths ahead of the
train, with everybody shouting wildly.
Twenty miles from town | pulled up at a
draw bridge and waited to. receive the
payaon bets | had made at the beginning
of the race. | had waited about five
minutes when the train came laundering
along at the rate OF sixty miles an hour.
| closed my eyes and the intelligent mare
blood as 500 people were dashed
into the chasm below and killed. 1t was
pretty tough on them, but showed what
the mare was good for. Three months
after that l was offered $4,000, 900 in cold
cash for Buffalo Girl, but refused it.
George Taylor then started out on a
story about a pair of white mice and a
trained oyster that used to play pin pool
at his museum in Denver. but was silenced
by the word ''wratz" being shouted sew
eral times by listeners, after which he
attempted to redeem himself by relating
how he detected a burglar in the act of
carrying four live rattlesnakes and half a
ton of Bulgarian angle worms from his
establishment. When the stiffness had
become so still that you could hear a fly
walking IN the ceiling the meeting voted
Pettibone a leather medal and adjourned.

WHAT THEY SAY.
Extracts from Kearney Papers Con-
corning the AIerts of Cheyenne.

The Kearney, Neb., Da,ly Journal
rises to apologize for the gross mistreat-
ment given the Alert hose team upon the
occasion of their recent visit to that city,
during the progress Of the Nebraska
State freman's tournament. 1t says:
THE Cheyenne papers are denouncing
Kearney's management Of the tourna-
ment In very severe terms, and say they
were told the hose contest would be a
wet test instead of a dry one, and that all
entries were made for the free for all
races on Friday. We are unable to answer
these charges at present, and may not be
at any time. If this company was de.
ceived In this way it was wrong altogether
and the city of Kearney should defray
the expenses of this team, or rather,
money should be taken from the funds
contributed and collected last week, and
then hold the man who caused the decep-
ton responsible for the amount. The
Cheyenne fellows were gentlemanly,
obliging, and acted like men while here,
ohu uSoOifO " NC ITtdleu III IndJ mdIlueT.
Everything should be square and honor
able, and we shall uphold no deception if
we know it. The fremen tried to do
what was right by all parties, and so did
our citizens, although a notable exception
or two may be singled u We hope
there has been no Misrepresentation"
The Alerts certainly were deceived.
There is plenty of written evidence to
warrant the assertion that the secretary of
the association wrote distinctly that the
$500 race was to be a wet test and that
five teams had each paid an entrance fee
of $50, both of which statements were
absolutely false.
In its account of the tournament the
K~earney Neto Era makes the following
hattering mention of the swift footed
Alerts:
"At $50 an immense crowd gathered
on Tenth street to witness an exhibition
of actual fire test coupling by the Alerts,
They ran $50 yards, laid 100 feet of hose,
made coupling to a hydrant and threw
water from the nozzle in the brief space
of thirty seven seconds. Cheyenne has
reason to feel proud of such men and such
work,

WYOMING OIL FIELDS.
Great Excitement at Douglas Over
Prospective Developments.


"
The Omaha Herald publishes the fol-
lowing telegram from Douglas under date
of July &c:
-Four carloads Of boring machinery ar
rived here yesterday, which is being trans
ferred by teams to the oil fields. It is
the property of the OIL Mountain Petro-
leum company, and is accompany by Con
tractor Bowman, of Pennsylvania, and an
experienced corps of workmen, who will
begin boring operations as soon as the
machinery can be placed in position,
which, it is thought, will not be later
than Aug. 10. Mr.. Bowman is under
contract with the Oil Mountain Petro-
leum company to sink a well in the
Poison Spider basin, where the com
pany has acquired some eight sections Of
land, and everybody connected with the
undertaking is sanguine that good oil in
large quantities will be found at no great
depth.
The samples of oil sent to Pennsylvania
some weeks since for refining and analyses
have come back with the most satisfactory
reports, showing them to be of the very
finest quality.
In Douglas and the country ~hereabouts
there is great excitement over the pros
pectlve developments, and a heavy in
tiux of capital and immigration is antici-
pated.

IRE
A Barn, Some Hay and Two Horses
Burned.

An alarm of fire was turned in from
box No. 10 at 2 o'clock this morning, and
the old blacksmith shop, which was do
ing service as a barn, on the corner of
Bent and Twentieth streets, was discov-
cred to be in flames. 1t Is the property
of Whipple & Murphy, and contained
two horses and several tons OF hay, the
property of Mr.. Frank Dana, and a mis-
%cellaneous lot OF harness.
The fire was first discovered by Mr..
VIM. Murphy, who lives over the Great
Western stables. He heard the horses
neighing piteously and hopelessly strug-
Cling to escape from the flames. The
Durants and Alerts threw water on the
structure in the order named.
About 100 cartridges left in the barn
exploded during the progress of the fire,
causing a general scattering among the
spectators. The Pioneer-Hook and Lad
der company tore down a portion of the
building.
The fire was either lncendiary or caused
by the carelessnsss of tramps who may
have been lodging in the hay, as no one
slept about the place.
The building was erected in 1876, and
together with its contents is a total loss.

FOLLOWED BY FooT-PADs.
Two Rough Looking Men Shadow a Cit
lien Who Has Money.

A gentleman who for obvious reasons
wishes his name suppressed, thrust a S.
bill into his vest pocket after paying for
some drinks in a Sixteenth street saloon
last night. AS he did so he observed a
pair of rough looking men watch him
closely, and noticed that they followed
HIM as he left the place and proceeded
toward his homo on the north side. Ar
irving in the neighborhood of the court
house he became convinced from the ac-
tons of the men that they intended rob-
bling him, as they had diligently followed
him when he crossed the street twice and
had approached within a few feet of him
as the trio neared the shadow of a large
building.
Knowing that a guard was on duty at
the Jail he FASTENED there and informed
him of his belief as to tie intentions of
the men. Accompanied by the armed
Waterman he returned to the vicinity
where the men were last seen and sighted
them a short distance away. The high
waymen. for such they undoubtedly were,
apparently recognized the guard and rap
idly disappeared in the darkness. The
gentleman was very cool and is positive
that the men intended robbing him.

A THIEF.
Jas. White steals a Coat, but Is Cap
tured and Jailed.

Jas. White is another of those mis-
guided individuals who prefers to steal
rather than work, and has the bad iudg-
ment to appropriate another mans coat
on a warm day like yesterday. James
was until recently n tracklayer on the
Cheyenne & Northern. Last evening
about 5 o'clock he entered the saloon of
Andrew Simmons on Seventeenth street,
picked up a coat which was lying in the
back room, and sneaked out with the ar
ticle under his arm, Mrs. Simmons OBJ
served him departing and inquired if a
coat had been lost. Simmons prospected
around a few minutes and discovered
that a garment of that sort had disap-
peared. Mrs. Simmons pointed out the
direction taken by the thief, and Andy
started in pursuit of the man, who was
overhauled after a short chase. Mr.. Jas,
White will answer to the charge of lar.
ceny before Judge Lee to-day.

Amt it hot2' was the question pro-
pounded to someone by nearly every citi-
zen yesterday. As Maj. Talbot would
remark, "the heat of the weather was a
trife warm" At one time during the
day the thermometer registered 9Oo; the
highest temperature of the season. This
record was tied by Denver, Omaha and
Davenport, with Salt Lake &c in the rear.
Sunstrokes are unknown in Wyoming,
and even yesterday no one felt particular
ly uncomfortable.

Railroads Racing.

Chas. McGarvey, the Cheyenne con-
tractor, has a large number of teams
and men working on the grade of the
Colorado Midland railway near Aspen,
and has just returned fran the scene of

neck and neck, with Aspen as the OBJ

Ed Baum, a French negro arrested for
Vagrancy some time ago, and at the ex-
piration Of his sentence held as a sus-
pected Jail breaker from Colorado, proved
to be the wrong man. The description of
the fugitive fitted Baum in every particu-
lar but one. He had no strawberry mark
on his left arm, as set forth in the circu-
lar. Baum may have disposed of the
strawberry mark to a church festival, but
the marshal thought this was improbable,
and he will be escorted to the gates of the
city and ordered to leave this morning.

Gushing

Great people those K~earneyites, so
liberal and generous. Here is a little
incident which illustrates in a practical
manner their utter disregard for the value
of money. During the recent visit of
the Alert hose team to that burg, Frank
Dana, among hundreds of others, became
disguised with the misery methods
of the tournament management, and
yanking u silver dollar from his pocket
held it beside the Alert hose cart and in
quired in a loud tone: (which is larger.
the dollar or the cart wheels2" Fully
500 Nebraskans instantly and unanimous
ly responded: The dollar, of course. "

A WELL KNOWN FINANCIER GONE.
Death of Martin y. StetsOn of Whitman
sketch of His Career.
WHITMAN, Mass, June -.

WHITMAN, Mass, June II.
Martin S. Stetson died early this forenoon
just previous and Immediately after the war
his name one of the best knoSn in finan-
cial circles throughout New England aud the
South. During the panic or 1886 81, he took
the opportunity of estsbllshinga large whole
sale business at Mobile, Ala and for years
done the largest business of the kind in the
State of Alabama if not in the South. He
continued in business till the breaking out OF
the war in 1861, wnen he came north in the
tall of that year and opened large store at
st. Paul Mimi, where he continued in busi-
uess until 1861 After Lees surrender he
returned to the South where his real estate
estate was located, and found his property
confscated by the Confederate government
and his business interests destroyed. Not
dishesrtened he again opened a wholesale
house at that point for the sale of New En-
gland manufactures. Owing to the crippled
resources of the country and the devastation
caused by the war he found ready market
for the goods and soon regained his fortune.
In 1869 he retired from active business and
has since resided in Whitman where he had
a beautiful estate.
